California Pizza Kitchen - Braintree

Decided to try here for the first time, absolutely amazing food. The atmosphere and service were amazing. The food came very fast and was very delicious. I recommend this pizza place and cannot wait for more!

It hurts for me to write this as I've always loved California Pizza at Braintree. Great memories after walking the mall and having a wonderful dinner. Post COVID-19 and with rising prices, I left there VERY unsatisfied. First, the staff was very professional and extremely accommodating. Customer service was wonderful. Second, the food quality was great and enjoyed it. Third, the portion was horrible. As mentioned before, I've eaten there many times and always enjoyed the meals. The mixed drinks was watered down, the appetizer was extremely small and the main pasta portion was a joke, literally. It was a size of a lunch meal, even smaller at a cost of $19.99! Again, I understand that everyone is going through difficult times. But, I left there paying a lot and left hungry. I've always left satisfied and full. Unfortunately, not that day. Definitely will not repeat.

The short and sweet: Awesome food, a comfortable environment, but a tad pricey. One great thing was that our chicken lettuce wraps were so good my 9 year old ate half the plate. Great stuff. I would definitely go again. The long and salty: Our table did get stuck with the trainee, which means slow and uncertain service while a more experienced server loses their mind behind the scenes. In all honestly the only negative thing we noticed from our visit was a lack of refills on our drinks. The server even felt compelled to apologize at the end of our meal for the lack of service.

They don?t have enough staff. The place was empty, we waited for 30 minutes to be seated. Then we were waiting for our food for 75 more minutes!!!! We had a chicken nuggets with broccoli side then they brought 2 pieces first and 3 more pieces later! And no broccoli at all. They didn?t refill any of the drinks. And the foods were average.

Had a good time with good service here. Olivia was very friendly and helpful. She was able to recommend dishes when we were unable to figure out what we wanted to eat. The Caesar salad was ample and filling, with not too much stressing on the salad itself. The five cheese and tomato pizza was cooked with a crust that was not too thick, and with crispy. The avocado rolls which she recommended had a good amount of avocado and chicken inside and they were extremely filling. The staff were very prompt about clearing the table and making sure that the area was clean. The two cocktails that I got off the menu, the beehive and the orchard sangria were good, the orchard sangria was based on Olivia's recommendation after the beehive ran out. Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely return.
